One-on-One Discipleship

Dear friends,

Just a note to let you know how things are going out this way.  Things have been pretty slow. But we thank the Lord for the strength to be able to do the things we need to do.

The church is going fairly well, and I am still with the ladies and helping with the music. I try to do some visitation to encourage those who need it but I have not done so lately. I have been under the weather with my blood pressure and throat giving me trouble, but I am taking antibiotics which seems to be helping. We are working on making disciples this year on a one-on-one basis. We have been challenged to pray and make friends with one person to reach them for Christ. Please pray with us.

Skip is still holding his own, only getting weaker. He does not walk and is confined to sitting on the couch. He does stand up and works his leg to get up and off the bed or couch. He does exercises with the therapist twice a week and still takes fono and can sort of communicate.

We had a good Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We thank you for your Christmas gifts and regular support.

Sorry this message is so short, but I wanted to let you know how things are.

Please pray for those we hope to reach this year.  Also pray for our health and for the church to grow.

Let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.  Hebrews 4:14

Yours for Brazil,
Skip and Betty Harkins
